chris pacham anti hunting petition

Opted out of paying the license years ago, spend the money I save on guns and ammo.

The picture in the article refers to his stance on fox hunting (I assume everyone who has posted here actually read it...)- He is against fox hunting for fun, regardless of how it's done; which is an agenda I agree with...but I think you'll find that he wouldn't argue against all circumstances/reasons for having to shoot foxes.

To say that he is anti shooting is just rot...please read: http://www.independent.co.uk/environmen ... 16594.html

Personally I like him and his programs...he might be controversial, and a bit odd at times, but he knows his stuff and when it comes to conservation issues he is very logical and pragmatic.

No TV licence here, they just laugh when you mention it.

Two thirds of the countries in Europe (and only one doesn't pay any public money) and half of Asia have them. Africa has a smattering of them, aS WELL.

They're not uncommon. I don't agree with them, but it's not like it's a UK only phenomena.

Well, maybe. But it's a very strange idea to me (and I think to most North Americans). I really wouldn't want to be the politician who tried to institute that over 'ere.....
